That's a nuance of your individual personality, which is fine. But I think the established tradition is more that the proposee wears the proposer's ring (the one that they have picked out beforehand) as a means of showing they accept the proposal. It's more a utilitarian social badge than a piece of jewellery. At least that's my take on it.
But in your case Aelia I'm sure you and your future husband-to-be (if marriage is a life choice you do in fact choose to make) will have no problems sorting out the ring details together [img]smile.gif[/img] Make sure you get a goodun now won't you? (both ring
and husband
).
